Often the best solution to a management problem is the right person”Edwin G.Booz (1914)

A CLEAR COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE ‘WAR OF TALENT’
Recruiting the right people has always been
key to successful businesses and never more
so than today. With the economic shift from
the West to the emerging markets of the
East, there is now unrivalled competition for
candidates. This ‘War of talent’ has resulted
in a volatile and unpredictable recruitment
market, which coupled with the urgency to
find successful candidates first time, means
organisations are increasingly rethinking the
way they recruit.
The next chapter in global executive search
With the consumer boom of the 1950s and the rise of
the modern corporation, companies found it increasingly
difficult to find high calibre executives. However, the
emergence of search firms readdressed the balance and
gave companies the commercial insight and innovation
they demanded to maintain an edge.
Today, with the growth of the internet,
businesses looking for recruitment services
have unprecedented choice. However few
general recruitment consultants have the
sector-specific expertise to understand the
increasing complexity of executive and board
member recruitment, or the resources and
knowledge to undertake a global search.
Fewer consultants still have the focus, drive or
acute insight of Mackenzie Stuart.
Consistently outstanding client service since 2005.
SPECIALISTS IN GLOBAL EXECUTIVE SEARCH & SELECTION SINCE 2005
Mackenzie Stuart was founded in 2005 with the sole aim of setting a new standard in
recruitment services. Today, it remains an innovative, results-driven business that prides itself
on delivering one-to-one service, accurate market insight and proven business acumen. Our
highly tailored approach to recruitment places lasting client relationships before short-term
gains and makes openness, integrity and honesty a priority. We also understand that our
reputation rests on the strength of our last placement and consider each and every position
unique – wherever in the world it may be.
A team with insider knowledge of each sector
While many companies possess general recruitment experience and create one-size-fits-all shortlists from their
existing databases, Mackenzie Stuart excels in delivering bespoke, sector-specific services and expertise.
We apply this in-depth knowledge in recruiting our own people, and hand-pick the leading graduates from across
the UK. They then embark upon an intensive training programme monitored by Senior Managers, which equips each
consultant with an in-depth understanding of individual sectors.
This single-minded approach allows us to quickly grasp the requirements of complex roles and consistently select
candidates of the highest calibre.
One-to-one service, accurate market insight & proven business acumen.
THE ART OF SEARCH & SELECTION
From mid to senior appointments and vacancies that require unique skills or experience, to
recruiting individuals from specific business functions, companies or markets, we provide a
suite of specialist services.
In each instance, personal expertise is key. Although we bring our clients the benefits of
the latest technology, we never overlook the importance of individual experience and the
advantages our inside knowledge of the market, sector and role can deliver.
Bespoke Executive Search
As a business nothing is more important to us than
our clients and working on a retained basis allows
us to deliver a truly personal search experience.
We start with a detailed client brief to define the key
parameters and take time to listen and understand
your role requirements. This enables us to define
the position and candidate specification and gauge
experience, qualifications and competencies.
We next undertake targeted research to identify
the best people and take independent views
and opinions to outline their experience and
qualifications. Finally, we personally undertake
rigorous, competency-based interviews, and once an
offer has been made, assist with negotiations.
For extra peace of mind, we also ensure the success
of the hire by assisting the integration of the
individual into the organisation. This level of detail
and scrutiny guarantees the best possible outcome
and candidates that feel like trusted members of
the team from the very first day.
World-class contingency search
Our contingency recruitment service provides our
clients with access to a unique global database
of job seekers. Candidates come to us because of
our presence within the industry and regular on
and offline advertising attracts some of the most
highly-qualified individuals. In addition, high
quality individuals are keen to work with us, to find
a career move that meets with their qualifications,
experience and aspirations.
At the beginning of our relationship we listen to
your requirements, then create a shortlist of suitable
candidates and present them to you for interview
and selection. All candidates are then interviewed
and fully reference-checked by Mackenzie Stuart.

experience of a dedicated individual or team to
